Antonio Conte is reportedly in line to become the next boss of Chelsea. Everyone's been saying it, from respected journalists of The Times and Sky Sports to big-name managers like Fabio Capello. Having guided Juventus to three Scudetto titles in a row, Conte set himself up as one of the wanted managers in world football. With the match-fixing claims having not yet settled down, Conte decided to leave Juventus and was offered the Italian National Team job.
Now, having been strongly linked with joining Chelsea, Conte will get the chance to do what he does best, get results from a giant. Chelsea are having an off-season but with the talent in the squad can definitely make it higher up in the league. However, for them to win, they're going to need to bring in a few more players.
Here are two players Conte could bring to Chelsea who could impact the Londoners and help them in the pursuit of another Premier League and Champions League title:

Here are two players Conte could bring to Chelsea who could impact the Londoners and help them in the pursuit of another Premier League and Champions League title:
#1 Leonardo Bonucci
The rock at the back of both Juventus and Italy, Bonucci – along with Giorgio Chiellini – is one the best defenders in the world right now. The Italian has a lethal combination of pace, intelligence and positioning making him the perfect replacement for Chelsea legend, John Terry.
Bonucci has time and again proved what a valuable asset he's been for Juventus organising the defence and clearing out threats with ease but in the Premier League, might find it a little harder adjusting given the physicality and the pace the English is so famous for.
Conte used Bonucci diligently while he was manager at Juventus and gave him freedom to defend as he liked knowing very well his commitment to the back-line strong and steady was unquestionable. However, Bonucci would take a little more than just Conte being at Chelsea to lure him away from the Old Lady.
Firstly, he'll cost a fortune given his excellent form this season in both the Champions League and Serie A but more important, will look for assurances regarding some stability in Chelsea's immediate future. If he does arrive at the Bridge, Chelsea fans can wave their defensive problems goodbye.

#2 Paulo Dybala
Diego Costa has been an incredible signing for Chelsea ever since signing from Atletico Madrid. He's led the team to a Premier League title and has been instrumental this season in their revival from the pit of the table.
Yet, he could very well be heading out of Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian is a great striker converting half-chances with ease but his temper, his explosive style of play isn't something Conte is seen trying to inculcate within his players. A player of Paulo Dybala's stature would very well fit Chelsea.
He's young, extremely quick on and off the ball, and has an eye for goal that's almost unmatched by anyone in his age bracket. At Juventus, he's been a superstar lifting the team almost single-handedly on plenty of occasions, scoring vital goals and setting up teammates with ease.
Much like everyone else on this list, Dybala will cost a lot of money. With departures expected at Chelsea this season – the likes of Oscar, John Obi Mikel and Loic Remy – cash will be available to sign potential world-beaters like Dybala.
